In honor of the 30th anniversary of #BeautyandtheBeast, Paige O’Hara (Belle), Richard White (Gaston), Bradley Pierce (Chip), Robby Benson (the Beast) and JoAnne Worley (the Wardrobe) open up about what the acclaimed film means to them, why it’s endured and its legacy.
“Paige, herself, as Belle, gave [women] permission to be intellectual, to read, to put reading above other things and [showed them] that that was okay,” White says.
